Gaining Leadership Skills, Together

For 2021, the BRIDGES Youth Leadership Institute will be held as a weeklong interactive online institute bringing OC youth from diverse backgrounds to participate in activities, dialogues and skill building exercises about human relations and social justice issues. Students will learn skills to organize youth, take a stand against hate and injustice and create schools and communities that are safe and equitable for ALL.

Our 2021 YLI cohort represents a diverse group of high school students from throughout Orange County who are interested in social justice issues and would like to play a leadership role in the future.
